Ensembled Autoencoder Regularization for Multi-Structure Segmentation for Kidney Cancer Treatment [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The kidney cancer is one of the most common cancer types. The treatment frequently include surgical intervention. However, surgery is in this case particularly challenging due to regional anatomical relations. Organ delineation can significantly improve surgical planning and execution.

Predicting Dosage of Immunosuppressant Drugs After Kidney Transplantation Using Machine Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 While kidney transplants are seen as the best treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease and kidney failure, the organ's health depends on the dosage of immunosuppressant drugs post-transplantation. Due to the dosage variance based on each patient's unique physiology, nephrologists face numerous difficulties when determining the precise

Kidney International, 2008 Renal aging, by itself, is associated with alterations in renal morphology and a decline in renal function, which is accelerated and/or accentuated by diseases such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension. The aging-related renal insufficiency has important implications with regards to body homeostasis, drug toxicity, and renal transplantation.

C-arm Tomographic Imaging Technique for Nephrolithiasis and Detection of Kidney Stones [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In this paper, we investigated a C-arm tomographic technique as a new three dimensional (3D) kidney imaging method for nephrolithiasis and kidney stone detection over view angle less than 180o. Our C-arm tomographic technique provides a series of two dimensional (2D) images with a single scan over 40o view angle.

Decoding myofibroblast origins in human kidney fibrosis
Nature, 2020 Kidney fibrosis is the hallmark of chronic kidney disease progression; however, at present no antifibrotic therapies exist 1 – 3 . The origin, functional heterogeneity and regulation of scar-forming cells that occur during human kidney fibrosis remain ...

Fully-automatic segmentation of kidneys in clinical ultrasound images using a boundary distance regression network [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 It remains challenging to automatically segment kidneys in clinical ultrasound images due to the kidneys' varied shapes and image intensity distributions, although semi-automatic methods have achieved promising performance. In this study, we developed a novel boundary distance regression deep neural network to segment the kidneys, informed by the fact ...

Automatic kidney segmentation in ultrasound images using subsequent boundary distance regression and pixelwise classification networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 It remains challenging to automatically segment kidneys in clinical ultrasound (US) images due to the kidneys' varied shapes and image intensity distributions, although semi-automatic methods have achieved promising performance. In this study, we propose subsequent boundary distance regression and pixel classification networks to segment the kidneys ...
